...importance of this research rests on the fact that it helps to fix the value of an electrical constant of great importance in theoretical physics...
During the past year at the Cruft Laboratory Professor G. W. Pierce has been engaged in making some precision clocks for laboratory and observatory use. One of the clocks employs a pendulum enclosed in a vacuum chamber and kept at constant temperature. The pendulum has no escapement, driving spring or other mechanical attachment. Instead it is provided with a small slit through which a beam of light passes at each swing of the pendulum. The beam of light falls on a photoelectric cell and produces an electric current of short duration each second. These current pulses drive an auxiliary second...
These clock devices, in addition to constituting a research on horology, are in constant use as timing devices for other researches under...
